European allies are taking steps to bolster Ukraine as Kyiv increases its efforts in the conflict with Russia.

As part of these efforts, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and a team of EU leaders are making an unexpected visit to Kyiv to advance a series of new defense initiatives. Zoya Sheftalovich and Ian Wishart discuss the packages expected to be unveiled today.

Additionally, starting today, you can walk from Spain into Gibraltar, the British territory, with barely any indication of crossing a border, resolving one of Brexit’s lingering issues.

Finally, while Brussels is known as a political center, could it also become an academic one? French university Sciences Po is considering establishing a campus in Brussels to train future eurocrats.

Oh, great, now we can stroll from Spain to Gibraltar without so much as a “How do you do?” 🙄 Just what we needed—more opportunities for the Brits to avoid saying ‘hello’ to their EU mates!

Well, it seems like we’ve solved the great border mystery overnight – who needs fences when you can just pretend they don’t exist? 😂 Just don’t forget your passport; it might still come in handy for a jaunt to the offices of the eurocrats in Brussels!
